Feb. 16, 2025: Photography in Los Alamos, California, emphasizing rust. The community of about 900 is located in the Santa Ynez Valley.
I guess an old rusty car is like a cancer victim. Unattended the body is OK but the rust keeps eating it away until it is no longer its former self and not able able to hit the road and get out and enjoy life again.Then one day somebody says "what a waste...that can be restored, all you gotta do is kill the rust and start over again"
Cut to the chase.....my Big C is in remission, hopefully a stem cell transplant will be the restoration....and the road never looked so good again.
thanks everybody for listening and CARING....merc

This old grain elevator sits near the intersection of IL. routes 34 and 40 between Buda and Manlius,IL.I remember driving by this all my life,my dad bought some feed from this place probably 30 years ago.Things were much simpler then which can be witnessed by its modern counterpart,built just a short distance away along the highway.This has so much more character though!
Interesting pattern and texture on this metal plate - part of some type of drilling equipment. My granddaddy and some of my uncles owned a water well drilling business and also worked in oil fields many years ago. Just a random item I found on a visit to the family ranch back in September 2020.
In Dimmit County, Texas.
Last weekend, Ken & I bought a beautiful little metal gazebo- rusted and perfect for SO many of my tiny spots here- it's not big at all - 6 ft. wide. But here it sits, still on the truck! Not as easy as I thought, with only two of us to manage getting it off there! The leg columns are lying down in the bottom of the truck bed. :)
This is not "new" new, but new to me! I hope that counts! :)

This photo were taken back in March 2012. I am just catching up with them. I had started to put up our trip to Northland but for some reason never got them all up.
Matakana is a small town in the Rodney Ward of Auckland Council of New Zealand. The Matakana River flows through the town and into Kawau Bay to the south-east.
Matakana's first public building, the Presbyterian School and church, opened in 1864. By 1881, Matakana had about 150 people and most of the bush had been cut. Agriculture replaced it, especially fruit. Matakana Dairy Factory opened in December 1902; the building is now a shop.

Goldfield Ghost Town, Apache Junction, Pinal County, AZ Jul 2, 2011 — I hand-held multiple exposures then converted five images to tiffs using Lightroom. I used Photomatrix to tone-map the HDR image. I spruced-up the image using the Topaz plug-ins DeNoise, Detail, and Simplify, and touched-up the image using Photoshop.
